Introducing Enhancements to Watlow's Polyimide Flexible Heaters for Medical Device Applications and More
St. Louis (June 3, 2008) - Polyimide is a thin, lightweight organic polymer film that provides excellent tensile strength, tear resistance and dimensional stability. Polyimide heaters are best suited for medical device applications and clinical diagnostic instrumentation requiring low-mass heaters. Polyimide has the additional attributes of low outgassing for and is resistant to radiation, solvents and many other chemicals.
Watlow's enhanced precision registration cutting provides tight tolerance to fit customer's application needs. New product features allows Watlow to custom design a heater to meet power supply needs.
Watlow can assist in development of polyimide heaters to meet the exact application requirements through precise temperature distribution By properly bonding or attaching the heater to a customers Watlow creates a subassemblies that reduces installation costs for customers.
Applications include IV heaters, respirators, eye surgery endoscope warmers and sleep apnea. The heater operates in environments as low as -319°F (-195°C).
